ACCT CHAMPIONSHIP- LOUISVILLE VS DUKE- 8:30PM ESPN
- Thread starter shadow force
- Start date
Very encouraging first half. Wasn’t perfect, Duke presents unique challenges, but our guys fight. Let’s go win this.
Hepburn gets the most pub but Edwards may be the Cards MVP. He is totally dialed in and he has improved his game throughout the season.
The Hepburn/Edwards backcourt has to be a top 3 backcourt this season. They do everything on offense and defense.

ESPN showed Lunardi's ACC seeds and it had Louisville a #7 and Clemson a #5.
I'm pretty sure that's not been updated after last night, but ESPN should say something about it if they're going to show it.
The idea that Louisville is a 7 seed, even if they lose to Duke, is the most blatant bias I've ever seen. There will be a very pissed off #2 seed seeing Louisville as a 2nd round matchup.
It boggles the mind. What does this time have to do? Winning is winning and deserves the reward of a high seed.

We need to answer good timeout by CPK nobody really stepping up except Edwards. We need to run the alleyoop after the timeout.
Of course Duke is going to shoot 3's better than they have been. Man we miss Smith so much in this game, but Duke misses Flagg as well.
Someone needs to give Edwards a break. He can't do it all by himself.

Damn, we’re in a tight spot. Don’t need a 10 point shot. Just get a good one.
You can only go so far with only two real offensive threats, but Duke is shooting lights out and that's what great teams do.
One thing I've really noticed since Smith has been out is the Cards lack of set plays. They don't seem to use Chucky or Edwards like they do with Smith.
After losing all those games the past three seasons, it's weird how now it feels unfamiliar since we have lost just one game since December 15.

This defense of not guarding the open Duke 3 point shooter is not sustainable.
Can’t have one guy play great and everyone else disappear. But they have dudes that can guard just better athletes.
Duke is moving the ball well. You're not going to stop open shots when a team is moving the ball effectively. You hope they miss more than they make and Duke is hot.
It's pretty evident to me Duke has more offensive threats than Louisville does, plus they have a huge dude down low. James Scott has been mostly invisible in this game.
Duke playing at a high level is better and it's playing out like it. I hate to keep harping on it, but Louisville is a much better team with Smith available.
I was hoping it would be a nail biter but it doesn’t look like it will be. I agree we look worn not much help from some of our key players.
Smith out is a big deal but they wouldn’t give him any space either.
Injuries just killed them against the better teams.
